Taraba State Road Traffic Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) Institutional Reforms


INTRODUCTION:

The serious decline in price of oil in recent years has led to a decrease in the funds available for distribution to the Federal and State governments. The need for States and Local government to generate adequate revenue from internal sources has therefore become a matter of extreme urgency and importance. This need underscores the eagerness on the part of State and Local Government to look for new sources of revenue or to become more aggressive and innovative in the mode of collecting revenue from existing sources. As part of the implementation of the Taraba State Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) Institutional Reforms by Messrs. Fyemto Integrated Logistics & Transport Services Limited, the company embarked on an extensive engagement and sensitization with stakeholders in the road transportation sub-sector in the State on Thursday and Friday, 26th and 27th October, 2017.


THE OBJECTIVES

  • Automate all motor-vehicle documentation in the state to generate bumper revenue and actualize the potential of road tax as a veritable tool for revenue escalation
  • Plugging illegal income/ leakages inherent in the subsisting manual vehicle documentation
  • Reduce staff costs
  • Sanitize vehicle documentation process
  • Build a comprehensive database for the state government for planning purposes and invaluable complements to address security matters
  • Create more efficient public-interface, greater public confidence in the integrity of the Motor Vehicle registration process and the issued licenses/documents
  • Increase the level of compliance with laws and regulations due to improve turn-around time in service delivery.
  • To inform and introduce the stakeholders to the consultants engaged by the Taraba State government to implement Road Traffic and Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) Institutional Reforms in the state – Messrs. Fyemto Integrated Logistics & Transport Services Limited.
  • To highlight key areas of the Reform process and how they will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Road Traffic and MVA in Taraba State.
  • To identify and discuss challenges faced by transport stakeholders in the State and take actions towards tackling them.
